@rickygervais We got here because women are being silenced.

They're called TERF and bigot. They're losing their jobs and being assaulted. They're not able to meet safely to discuss. They are being replaced on committees and in politics by men.

@rickygervais They're being banned from social media and thrown out of organisations that used to put children first. They are seeing all the hard won, necessary rights and safe spaces being removed.

#waronwomen

@rickygervais They are being reduced to 'menstruators' and 'uterus havers' and 'people who are pregnant'. They are being forced to go to court to say they won't touch a man's genitalia. They are being coerced in courts to lie. They are being visited by the police for 'wrongthink'

@rickygervais How did we get here? The patriarchy was losing ground so men have to "become women" to retain power. To tell kids they're in the wrong bodies instead of ending toxic masculinity. To say is better to 'change sex' than be gay.

And it's hurting women. And children. And men.
